Part 2
3025 – She stood at the door looking up at the numbers on the door; this was it – room 3025 'my lucky number huh?' she mused over in her own thoughts. Insuring that the folder was securely under her arm she knocked twice. She knew that she had to do this, 'stay professional 'don't get pulled into the emotional crap, just do your job dude' She was mentally giving herself a pep talk when she pusher the door open and into the room. She was greeted by the furious face of who Paige assumed to be the mother, who sat at the bedside of her sleeping son. He looked more than a little out of it from the drugs rather than a natural sleep. Then Paige looked at the man stood in a black suit, white shirt and tie looking very smart and official. She felt the need to introduce herself in a professional manner.
"Sorry to interrupt, Paige Matthews, social worker" She steeped in further and looked over to the mother who was beyond angry now.
"Social Services…you have got to be kidding me!" She spat, "What is this?" She shouted
"Ma'am if you'll just calm down and let us get this sorted," The man tried to defuse the
situation that seemed to been created. The woman, who was pretty, through the reddened eyes and tossed hair anyway, a kind of natural beauty Paige could not help but notice it. She seemed the type to be a mother. The kind who just seems to fit the bill, she pushed her hand threw her hair as if in disbelief.
"Mrs. Parks. Alice Parks?" Paige asked, a formality that she knew by heart, Step one, find out whom you are talking to. The woman nodded once, it was as if she was in disbelief. Paige looked over to the man who she had assumed was the officer that Cowan had been referring to. "Officer" She acknowledged his presence. He had ruggedness about him, which Paige happened to notice. "Brody" He offered. Paige nodded in acceptance of this, and then turned back to the mother who was holding onto the hand of her son and holding back the tears.
"Mrs. Park's do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" Paige asked.
"What is it with you lot? Just leave us alone! Don't you think I'm going through enough?" She shot, obviously she did mind if she was asked questions. It seems she was jumping into the defensive.
"I'm sorry I know this must be a rough time for you but I do need to do this…" She explained as she opened the folder and took out her pen.
"He fell, what don't you people understand about that?" She asked aggressively.
"Ma'am look this is my job, to insure this boy's safety…" Paige explained; it was then she noticed him waking up. "Okay ma'am maybe you could go with officer Brody and I can have a talk with John?" Paige hoped she would agree to this.
"I don't believe this, what is it exactly you are investigating?" She asked, directing this at Paige. It's funny she thought how she always ended up being the bad person.
"Ma'am it hasn't gone unnoticed that these hospital visits are not uncommon this is routine, just want to make sure it is all in order."
Brody was seeing this woman wasn't going to give in, so he offered a hand, "Ma'am this has come to the attention of social services, and this is not something that is going to go away. Either you allow Miss. Matthew's to do her job or I will be forced to take action. If you would like to step out of the room, we can talk." The woman seemed to understand the words, action, and she felt that was something they didn't need. "I want to call my husband" Paige nodded, that could be arranged. Paige watched as Alice Parks leaned forward and told her son 'not to worry, mommy would be just outside' he nodded, but was visibly shaken. Paige was unsure if this was due to having just woken up and having strangers stood around, or something more but she'd find out.
After a huge amount of debating Alice Parks eventually gave in and left the room, adamant on calling her husband. This was something Paige had more than expected and that was when the real fun would start. Paige watched Alice leave with Brody and he would ask her questions after she'd rang for her husband. Paige supposed. She turned to see the boy that lay in the hospital bed. Her heart instantly went out to him, and like she had predicted earlier he looked frightened, so very scared.
"Hey Dude" She smiled, a soft sweet smile that seemed to come so naturally to her, "All this is a little scary huh?" She asked him.
He nodded his head; "Little" his reply sounded, Paige nodded.
"I bet…mind if I take a seat?" She asked, he shook his head so Paige took a seat next to him, "Well I'm Paige Matthew's what's your name?"
"Johnny Parks, are you a doctor?" He asked her softly, still fearful. The way he gripped onto his hands didn't go unnoticed.
"No I'm, I'm a social worker" Paige explained, "All this is a little scary to you I bet. Been in the hospital" John nodded, and Paige was convinced that she had created a basis to work on she just hoped that she would get the required answers out of him.
"What the hell is going on?" A voice boomed as he walked down the corridor,
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down" Brody was quick to react
"Calm down?" He shouted, "Were the hell is my son, what is this?" The man shouted, "What have you told them Alice?"
"Nothing…"
"Well why the hell are they here?"
"Sir this is routine, according to reports your son has been admitted into hospital a lot we are just insuring that his safety isn't at risk"
"This is fucking stupid… I want to see him"
"That isn't possible I'm afraid, the social worker is in there with him now"
"What the hell social worker…" His anger was flaring and when he turned to see his wife crying this angered him more. "How did you let this happen?" He shouted
"Sir please calm down"
"Calm down! Calm down! I want to see my son NOW!"
As he attempted to push through Kyle Brody the door to the room opened. Paige walked out ready to continue with her work happy with the progress that she had made with the young boy. She was ready to talk with the parents that was until she saw who was stood there. She froze as she looked at him.
Hehehe I wonder wut happens next…
